One Year??
One Year??
We were off school for our "2 week shutdown" and around 2:00 in the afternoon my 16yo kiddo tells me they are going to take a shower but needed to talk to me about something.
Caught off-guard I said ok but hurry up because I'm curious.
We sat in the living room, in the chair I'm sitting in right now. She tried to have me guess what was going on...
Is it school? No
Friends? No
Your job? No
Band? No
Are you gay? No
Ok so then just tell me.
Do you know what gender dysphoria is?
Yes, I think so but please explain...
And she did. And we talked. And I accepted, affirmed, and asked what I could do to help.
Help me buy clothes, teach me how to do makeup, and help me tell dad.
And so it began. The journey into helping my daughter learn how to live her authentic self. The deep dive into learning all things transgender and how to be the best mom, ally, and mama dragon I could be.
Has it only been... Has it already been...
One Year??
